It's like a baby GLI!

This sounds like the Jetta to get if you ask me.

That 1.8T is probably able to make GLI levels of power without much more then a tune.

I'm sure the suspension isn't as "sport" focused as a GLI, and it has a 5-speed manual compared to the GLI's 6. But for only $21,000, it sounds like a good deal.

But, death to V-Tex. Give me cloth dammit! Why are Ze Germans afraid to sell cars with cloth seats in America?

I find it weird that VW reduced the size of the main bearings (compared to the 2.0T?) for the sake of fuel economy. I believe it also has an integral cylinder head cast water cooled exhaust manifold too.

Edit: At least its got independent rear suspension now!

Oh well, there are some tunes out for it already I see.

I think the GTI is the only model that has cloth as an option. And that's only on the most basic GTI.

Which is smaller, and less attractive, and manual only.

Plus $21k gets you an absolutely bare bones Fiesta.

I know I have. Probably getting one in a few months.

That, or a down payment on a house.

Or a nice fat rock wrapped in gold.

I need a raise.

The Beetle R-Line has cloth on all but the highest trim level.

Sounds nice, what I do HATE is how Volkswagen of Mexico adorned the new Jettas interior.

Kinja'd!!!

That white strip looks AWFUL, and the steering wheel is just an insult.

Also, I don't know why Volkswagen doesn't use the 1.4 TSI on my Golf. Seriously, it feels more powerful than the old 2.5 and gets about 40% better economy.
